Another story about global warming causing volcanoes…

They are equating the loss of mile thick ice sheets with the very small reductions of ice cover (if it’s happening) we may be seeing today. This is an argument in search of a problem. For the most part, volcanos are the result of sea floor subduction at plate margins. There are also hot spots which remain poorly understood but which show no sensitivity to climate. Sounds like the bloviating of a charlatan to me.

Nice list,

BREAKING NEWs: Eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD was the result of excess carbon emissions from Pompeii!

Why not both?

Then the climate warmed, and the glaciers began to recede. The effect on the planet was generally quite favourable for humankind.

Let's just leave it at that.

Around 19,000 years ago, glaciation was at a peak. Much of Europe and North America was under ice. Then the climate warmed

And it was all the Fault of HUMAN GREED /s

Volcanic emissions lower global temperatures. So I guess this is “negative feedback” the computer models missed.

Bingo! And, the very suggestion of such a mechanism, whether it exists or not, is a reminder that the earth's climate, besides being governed by non-linear dynamics, and thus insusceptible to long-term prediction, is an open system with unknown inputs, which make long-term prediction even more dubious.

Evidence has been building that in the past, periods of severe loss of glaciers were followed by a significant spike in volcanic activity....seems only fair, since recent theorizing is that the increased amount of volcanic activity we're seeing is very likely to lead to significant cooling of the atmosphere because of all the particles thrown into air which will block sunlight - it's a cycle which will eventually lead perhaps to increased glaciation and to no change in the overall temperature - see how that works in real life.....
